You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

……

The main city of Daxia, the military region's information department.

This is a huge circular hall, with hundreds of supercomputers surrounding it.

Technicians in uniforms hurried along the corridors, waving various data boards in their hands, and each of them had a solemn expression on their face.

Suddenly, a bright red S-level warning message popped up on the huge central screen... Sender: Ye Lan.

In an instant, the once noisy hall fell into a deathly silence.

The tech lead's hands trembled as he clicked on the message.

After everyone finished reading the contents, a collective gasp filled the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing alarm ripped through the air and resounded throughout the entire city.

The people in charge of all the surrounding access points received the top command at almost the same time.

Immediately seal off all access points, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and impose a complete curfew.

A bizarre scene unfolded throughout the main city: Awakened Ones took to the streets and began forcibly examining the heads of passersby.

The first thing awakened beings do when they meet is no longer to greet each other, but to check the tops of each other's heads.

Soon, the infected humans were identified.

The troublesome thing is that if those light blue creatures are forcibly captured by external forces, they will choose to self-destruct.

This has left scientists in the main city scratching their heads, as the lack of live samples has made research progress extremely slow.

……

Main city, highest command and control conference room.

The heavily guarded circular conference room was now filled with high-ranking generals in crisp military uniforms.

Seated at the very center of the round table were twenty-four generals who guarded their respective regions, as well as the Chief of the Great Xia.

"Gentlemen, we've encountered an unprecedented crisis."

The Great Xia Chief spoke solemnly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "According to the Academy of Sciences' preliminary research on these 'Kokotar' corpses and remains, their genetic sequences are completely different from those of Earth."

"Fifty years after the Mist invasion, we have once again encountered an invasion by extraterrestrial intelligent beings."

"If Comrade Ye Lan hadn't discovered it in time, according to data model projections, humanity would have been completely parasitized within three days at the earliest."

"When she returns, I will personally award her the First-Class Merit Medal."

The commander paused, his tone growing even heavier: "However, the bad news is that although the Cocotars in the main city have been temporarily suppressed..."

"But the Qi family, who carried the Cocotal, have already dispersed to various base cities."

"In other words, the crisis is not over, and the situation is even more serious."

"Even if we completely eradicate the cocotal within humans, we cannot guarantee that the creatures in the mist have not been parasitized."

"If these intelligent Cocotars also parasitize countless Mist creatures, then humanity's living space in the Mist will be compressed to its limit."

"Therefore, I have decided..." The Chief of Staff stood up abruptly, his voice booming, "From this moment forward, the entire Great Xia shall enter a state of Level One combat readiness indefinitely."

The Great Xia Chief's gaze finally fell on the six people sitting in the front row.

Five of them were dressed in civilian clothes, and one was in military uniform, but the aura emanating from these six people was as terrifying as an abyss.

"Six demigods, I'll have to trouble you from now on."

The six men stood up in unison, gave the commander a crisp military salute, and shouted in unison:

"Protect our Great Xia, and humanity will live on forever."

……

Hope Base City, Villa No. 1.

Ye Lan picked up the terminal from the ground and walked down from the second floor with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?" Wu Minmin asked, frowning.

"The attempt to kill the Qi family failed."

Ye Lan took a deep breath: "They have entered the main city, and according to the latest news from the main city..."

"After entering the main city, the Qi family members dispersed to various base cities. Currently, the entire Great Xia has entered a state of first-level combat readiness."

Wu Bai, Wu Minmin, and Su Nianzhen all frowned at the same time.

"Then where did these cokotars come from?" Wu Bai asked.

Ye Lan glanced at the three people and slowly said, "According to the research of the Academy of Sciences, they are extraterrestrial beings. We have been invaded by an alien civilization again."

"As instructed by my superiors, I need to go to the Qi family compound to see if there are any clues."

"I'll go with you." Wu Minmin stepped forward, her eyes resolute.

"Brother, you and Sister Zhenzhen should work together to search for humans parasitized by Cocotal in Hope Base City."

The four had a clear division of labor and immediately began to take action.

In the sky, the wind howled, and a streak of seven-colored light streaked across the horizon.

Ye Lan, now in divine form, turned her head in confusion to look at Wu Minmin, who was lying on her back with her eyes closed: "Minmin, I don't think these things existed in my past life, right?"

"No." Wu Minmin suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing with horror. "I just carefully reviewed the memories that you from the future transmitted to me frame by frame."

"I discovered that on the pile of human corpses that Hyper Zetton was standing on, there was a crack in the heads of those people..."

"...Even the heads of the four great gods have them."

"In other words, it wasn't Hyper Zetton that wiped out humanity, but rather that humanity had long been parasitized by the Cocotars."

"Hyperzeon wiped out the entire Kokotar race."

"I wasn't killed by humans, but by the four gods that Cocotar parasitized."

Ye Lan carefully recalled the future scenes she had seen before, and suddenly her eyes widened.

"There's still something I don't understand: Hyper Zetton already possessed the power to exterminate humanity."

"Why didn't it do it until after you died?"

"Also, Hyper Zetton suddenly started devouring humans like crazy. Is it devouring humans who are being parasitized by Cocoytar?"

"So...it's actually saving humanity?"

Wu Minmin's eyes darted around as she looked at the clouds below.

"In any case, Cocotal has only just appeared and has already been discovered, so there is still a chance to save it."

"I have a formula for an awakening potion that can be mass-produced."

"After resolving the crisis in Hope Base City, we will go to the main city and usher the entire Great Xia into the Awakened Era."

"With this strength, everyone can guard against the parasitism of Kokotar."

"What about Hyper Zetton?" Ye Lan asked hesitantly.

Wu Minmin remained silent for a long time before speaking:

"Let the higher-ups at Great Xia worry about it. Right now, Cocotal is a higher priority than Hyper Zetton."

……

Hope for the base city.

Wu Bai made up an excuse to break up with Su Nianzhen.

Arriving at a secluded dead end, he first informed everyone in his Black Domain about Kokotar.

Then its body began to swell, reverting to Hyper Zetton's original form.

It leaped several times and rushed onto the street, plunging the entire street into an instant silence.

Whether it was pedestrians or the Zhan'e Division members who were inspecting it, they all looked at it with bewildered expressions.

Then came screams, and the crowd scattered in panic: "Calamity! It's calamity!"

Wu Bai ignored them, and the glowing organ on his chest suddenly lit up with a red light.

The next second, a fireball, accompanied by a scorching shockwave, shot towards a residential building filled with kokotar.

An explosion rang out, and the entire residential building vanished.
